Written Directions

Just west of Caldwell, OH off of I-77 Exit 25 towards McConnelsville, OH. (West of 77 is much better than East of 77.)

Scenery

There's lots of lush greenery and hills around. You'll pass by the 'Big Muskie Bucket' that they used for moving Earth back in the day.

Drive Enjoyment

No complaints, some on and off pavement switching and some loose gravel, but nothing to get in a twist over.

Tourism Opportunities

There is only the Big Muskie Bucket tourist attraction, and judging from the lack of visitors it seems people can't be bothered. Other than than there's nothing along this route until McConnelsville.

Rode 78 from Clarington, OH to Nelsonville, OH. Love it! Not a bunch of tourism opportunities, just a great ride.

One of my favorite routes. Even better if you do the whole thing. 92 miles from Clarington, OH to Nelsonville.
